There is no universe in which going into an ex’s wedding is a good idea. Perhaps if the relationship tapered off around middle school, or didn’t last more than a few days or months. But if your significant other of five years invites you to his wedding, there is no significant reason to attend. All the same, Will’s ex-boyfriend Vince returns to Will & Grace. Whether it’s to be courteous or to have someone who was an important part of his life there for his big day, Vince thinks inviting Will and the gang to his wedding is a good idea. In the end does Will’s presence make a difference to either his or Vince’s need for closure?
After so many years apart, Will could be happy for Vince’s marriage. Except that the entire reason Vince and Will broke up is that Vince supposedly had commitment issues. Of course, this annoys and hurts Will. Which makes Grace right (for once). Nothing good ever came from going to an ex’s wedding. As desperate as Will is to find out why Vince is so ready for a commitment now, Grace assures him that he doesn’t want to know the answer. As suspected, that answer is painful. Vince reveals to Will, during what is supposed to be the toast moment in the program, that Will is too knit-picky. Will’s constant criticisms made Vince feel inferior, and that’s why he couldn’t commit. Grace can handle Will because she does the same thing.
Jack and Karen keep busy enough at the wedding. Karen vows to win a high society scavenger hunt without help from anyone, even the Russians. She does, but it requires committing a few felonies. Jack has fun unintentionally deflowering one of the cops in Vince’s unit. Unfortunately, Mr. Bathroom Stall has no interest in his wife (Vince’s cousin) and is now in love with Jack. He could be a fun recurring character who Jack has to constantly get busy with, and then run away from.
Admit it, you thought Will was going to run off with the groom. But was there really closure? And did this resolution need to come about the way that it did?
